Here is the solution to the problem from the image:

20. (c) The diagram shows a right-angled triangular prism. Work out the volume of the prism.

  1. Calculate the area of the triangular base.

    The base of the prism is a right-angled triangle with a base of 7 cm and a height of 4 cm.
    The formula for the area of a triangle is A=12×base×heightA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}.

    Abase=12×7 cm×4 cmA_{base} = \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \text{ cm} \times 4 \text{ cm} Abase=12×28 cm2A_{base} = \frac{1}{2} \times 28 \text{ cm}^2 Abase=14 cm2A_{base} = 14 \text{ cm}^2
  2. Calculate the volume of the prism.

    The formula for the volume of a prism is V=Area of base×LengthV = \text{Area of base} \times \text{Length}.
    The length of the prism is given as 12 cm.

    V=14 cm2×12 cmV = 14 \text{ cm}^2 \times 12 \text{ cm} V=168 cm3V = 168 \text{ cm}^3

    The volume of the prism is 168 cm3168 \text{ cm}^3.
